Elton John and Billie Jean King are co-hosting a star-studded tennis event in Orlando on Nov. 17. Mylan WTT Smash Hits, presented by GEICO, is a charity night of tennis headlined by Venus Williams and Andy Roddick at the HP Field House of the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort. It benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Last year’s event in Pittsburgh raised $1 million for the Foundation. This year’s event will also benefit Hope and Help Center of Central Florida, with a portion of the funds raised specifically targeted for local programs.
On the day of the event, there’s a pre-match VIP Reception and auction which starts at 4:30 p.m., then tennis action is set for 6 p.m. Tickets range from $50 – $125 and go on sale Sept. 9 at WTTSmashHits.com or Ticketmaster.com.
